        "One media report says that a policeman had confronted a navy officer for failing to stop at some traffic lights." Childish, murderous. 😡

        Very unfortunate act of the Naval Officers. Investigation must be conducted and those found guilty must be punished according to the law.

        #Biafra When Nnamdi KANU called Nigeria a British Zoo, they said it was an insult. It is only in a Zoo that such can happen in this age
